What Los Cachorros does

Los Cachorros (legal name: Stichting Los Cachorros, also operating in Peru as Fundación Los Cachorros) is a Dutch-registered charitable non-profit organization (ANBI status, RSIN 816126239, plus CBF Erkend quality mark) that provides child welfare services to vulnerable children in Ayacucho, Peru. The organization was founded in 2001 and operates with 53 employees, with a fundraising/administrative office in Utrecht, Netherlands (Gasthuisstraat 136) and program operations on the ground in Ayacucho, Peru.

Its core offering is a holistic, integrated child welfare program for children who live on the streets or in unsafe family situations. Service lines include street outreach and prevention activities, night shelter, and family-style (family-replacement) homes, with a stated philosophy of prioritizing reintegration of children into safe family situations when feasible. Programs are delivered directly by Los Cachorros staff and are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The organization's revenue model is donations-only. It is funded entirely by contributions from individuals and organizations, processed primarily through direct bank transfer to its Dutch ING account and via its website (loscachorros.nl). ANBI status makes donations tax-deductible for Dutch donors, lowering the effective cost of giving and supporting donor acquisition. Outreach channels include the multilingual (Dutch, English, Spanish) Squarespace-hosted website and a regular donor newsletter (Nieuwsbrief) archived from 2023 to 2026. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no commercial products, no technology platform, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no partnerships in the input data.
